Rated 4 out of 5 by InfoTechSpecialist491 It has helped us to enforce State mandates for protecting both staff and patient information data. Valuable Features:As of July 2016 we updated our version of Endpoint encryption from V5.03 to V7.03 with an updated deployment console it is much more convenient to navigate and to recover the user \ machine password process is so less cumbersome ..thumbs up to this version ...Improvements to My Organization:All the care facilities are mandated by the State to protect patient information. McAfee Complete Endpoint Protection has helped us to enforce that mandate, protecting both staff and patient information data. That's why the most value that it provides to us is simply and obviously the fact that it does a very good job of overall endpoint encryption.Room for Improvement:The virus scanning in Enterprise V8 needs improvement. Also, the spyware protection needs to be be more expansive.Use of Solution:We've used it for six years.Deployment Issues:The deployment from the ePolicy Orchestator console to either re-imaged or rebuilt laptops was sporadic and not reliable enough to be standalone.Stability Issues:We have had no issues with the stability.Scalability Issues:We have had no issues scaling it for our needs.Customer Service:very good ....Technical Support:Technical support is excellent. We've worked with them a lot over the years, some days for hours at a time.Previous Solutions:SafeBoot encryption was purchased by McAfee shortly after we deployed it to our fleet of laptops. We simply inherited it by use of encryption.Initial Setup:The initial setup was straightforward, as we tried to automate the deployment of AV. However, it got more cumbersome after that, requiring a lot more of our time and resources.Implementation Team:It was implemented by our in-house team and then deployed using the McAfee ePolicy server that's designated for McAfee deployments only.Cost and Licensing Advice:This was all managed by our IT director.Other Advice:Overall, the product is good. You need to get advice on the overall deployment to your infrastructure from McAfee before any roll-out.Disclaimer: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Nadeem Khan SiteAdvisor and DLP have helped us to control the sites our users visit and the removable devices they use on their company PCs. Valuable Features:In today's IT environment, IT Security threats are very dynamic in nature. Every minute, new threat emerges. Every feature of the MEP suite, be it small or big, is very important. They complement each other and if one fails, my IT Security could be compromised and my organization might be at security risk. In short, every feature is equally important to maintain high level of IT Security.Improvements to My Organization:While SAE & DLP have helped us to control the sites our user visits and the removable media they uses on their PC, at the same time, MSME has helped us to prevent the threat getting in our network via SPAM emails. The MEP suite has significantly helped us to mitigate the risk of getting malicious content in our network from various mediums.Room for Improvement:They need to improve the anti-virus engine which, although fast and efficient, sometimes uses too much hardware resources. The scanning engine should be designed in a way that it doesn’t slow down the PC while it's running scheduled scans.Use of Solution:I've been using it for eight years.Deployment Issues:We've had no issues with the deployment.Stability Issues:We've had no issues with the stability.Scalability Issues:We've had no issues scaling it for our needs.Customer Service:Customer service is excellent.Technical Support:In my experience with them, technical support is excellent.Previous Solutions:Yes we were using different solution previously. The reason we chose McAfee is because it provides us with different security solutions under one umbrella. It give us a centralized view of the health of the PCs in our organization/Network.It also offeres ease of manageability of the different product through singe user interface. Moreover, McAfee, as a part of Intel Security, can work more smartly with CPUs in comparison to other products. Also, McAfee has excellent research and support teams around the globe.Initial Setup:It was a bit complex in starting as you need to pick and choose the options that fit to your organizational need. IT security engineer need to learn and develop the skill to manage the product. Once it is all set, it's easy to manage.Implementation Team:We implemented it with the help of the vendor in the beginning. Later, we developed our own in-house talent to support and manage the product.ROI:The ROI is good.Cost and Licensing Advice:Pricing/licensing is competitive in comparison to other solution in the market.Other Advice:I would advise that if you are looking for internet usage control, removable device control, and host intrusion protection, email protection or any one of these with anti-virus, go for it and you will not be disappointed.Disclaimer: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Johan Vanaken From an IT management point-of-view, the most valuable features are the force of the ePO console and its simplicity. For security, the most valuable feature are the clear security dashboards. Valuable Features:From an IT management point-of-view, the most valuable features are the force of the ePO console and its simplicity. For security, the most valuable feature is that it offers clear security dashboards and reporting.Improvements to My Organization:Our endpoints are secure and updated daily. Viruses and malware are detected and quarantined automatically. Users are informed when a detection has been made with alerts. We have confidence in the product to keep our business users secure.We are functioning in a delegated organizational structure with 20 sites. Every site has been delegated certain security rights to manage their local clients. ePO supports delegation of administration.Room for Improvement:The client-side interface is out of date, and has not been updated over the last few years. Additionally, the interfaces of different modules do not integrate common settings. This should be reworked in the next-gen version of the product (EndPoint Security 10.)Larger updates like service packs are sent to all clients at once and can potentially cause network saturation. The product does not have built-in bandwidth control for avoiding this.Use of Solution:We've been using it for 10 years, and it includes several modules for endpoint security. All modules are managed by a central server called ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO), which gives complete control over policies, tasks, events etc. The mainstream product for virus scanning is McAfee VirusScan Enterprise. Other modules are Host Intrusion Prevention (firewall) and Advanced Threat Protection (rootkits, advanced malware protection etc.).Deployment Issues:We've had no deployment issues.Stability Issues:The product is very stable. One ePO Server can manage thousands of clients. Most updates and Service Packs are tested thoroughly before RTW. Hotfixes for known issues are posted regularly. There is also a notification service that keeps you updated with news about the product(s) you manage. This enables you to immediately react if needed.Scalability Issues:We have been able to scale it for our needs.Customer Service:8/10Technical Support:8/10Previous Solutions:I have not used anything previously.Initial Setup:You install the ePO Server, link to AD, and deploy the agent. Then all you need to do is to configure the policies and deploy module, then it's ready. There is, however, a learning curve to properly configure policies and client tasks in the most efficient way.Implementation Team:We are using local distribution channels of Intel Security.ROI:When you have a small security team, a solid security product that is easily manageable will automatically return its investment. EndPoint Protection does the work for us.Cost and Licensing Advice:When it concerns security, no compromise should be made on product quality. Quality may have its price and is always negotiable.Other Solutions Considered:There were no other issues evaluated.Other Advice:Deploy the product with a phased and progressive strategy and optimize it during deployment. Often policies need to be adapted in order to lower impact on performance for some applications.Disclaimer: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.

Rated 3 out of 5 by MoePro ?The centralized management of the solution is valuable. It would be nice to have the ?ability to change Safeboot passwords from within the OS. Valuable Features:The centralized management of the solution is valuable since we are a diverse organization.Room for Improvement:It would be nice to have the ability to change Safeboot passwords from within the OS as there is a delay in the boot process and password changes can take time.Use of Solution:We've been using it for over five years. The component versions we are using areMcAfee VirusScan Enterprise + AntiSpyware Enterprise 8.8.0.1445McAfee Agent 4.8.0.1938Saferboot Device Encryption 5.2.11McAfee SiteAdvisor Enterprise 3.5.0.1364Deployment Issues:We have had no issues with the deployment.Stability Issues:There have been no issues with the stability.Scalability Issues:We have had no issues scaling it.Customer Service:I've not had to contact customer support.Technical Support:I've not had to contact tech support.Previous Solutions:We had something in place previously, and this just seemed to be a better fit. Also, the management of the device worked best for our organization.Initial Setup:The initial setup was straightforward.Implementation Team:We implemented it in-house. I would suggest building a small lab to get familiar with the process before working on a live environment.Other Advice:Take your time and plan it out before attempting to deploy in a production environment.Disclaimer: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Krishnaraj Raveendran Nair Good reporting and compliance. Easy to administer. Valuable Features:McAfee Endpoint Protection is a a good product that's easy to administer. It provides endpoint protection for desktops, laptops, and servers, and the protection includes anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-spam, DLP, and encryption.Improvements to My Organization:We're less affected by viruses and threats on end-user device, able to manage all endpoints from a centralized server across locations. We're also able to encrypt sensitive laptops with ease. Very good reporting and compliance to endpoints.Room for Improvement:It needs much better control on zero-day viruses and easier submission of threats to McAfee. They also need to improve the DLP rules since loads of false positives and patch releases are not quick enough when a new OS hits the market. Because of this, there are incompatibility issues which cause slowness on end-user devices.Use of Solution:I've used it for five years.Deployment Issues:Deployment of agents and products to end-user machines is straightforward and easy. The basic McAfee ePO deployment is not easy and you need good knowledge in SQL and servers.Patch release is not fast when there is a new OS on the market, so compatibility issues will come and can cause slowness on end-user devices. For example, I had a tough time when Windows 10 was released and the devices were not protected for a month, which is not advisable.The upgrade of the new ePO from older versions always have issues and need support from McAfee engineers all the time. In a span of three years, we had upgraded three times and all three times were difficult. But the engineers were good enough and at the end of the day, they fixed it.Stability Issues:We had no issues with the stability.Scalability Issues:We had no issues with the scalability.Customer Service:Excellent 8.5/10Technical Support:9/10 - Very fast support and engineers have good knowledge of the products. They show patience in understanding the issues before taking any action/recommendations, which I personally appreciate. They also have an escalation matrix that provides for faster response time depending on issue severity.Previous Solutions:I have used Symantec, not happy with their support and was facing lots of performance issues.Initial Setup:The initial setup is complex as loads of communication (ports between server, clients and locations) has to be done, making setup difficult. You need a good engineer who has knowledge of SQL, database, servers, and firewalls.Implementation Team:Our environment was a mix. I prefer to do it with a vendor and Intel Support.Cost and Licensing Advice:The pricing was good and licensing is on a per-user basis, so it's flexible. All the products will work, but only AV signatures will stop downloading.Other Solutions Considered:We evaluated Kaspersky and Trend Micro.Other Advice:Always test on all environments and different OS's before deploying into production, especially VSE, DLP, and encryption.Disclaimer: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.

Rated 4 out of 5 by SecSystemsEng168 The threat prevention feature is the most valuable because it provides protection against malware. Valuable Features:There are three valuable components to Endpoint Security 10.1: First, there's threat prevention, which is for anti-virus and anti-malware detection. Second, there's firewall, which replaces the Windows firewall when activated. Third, there's web control which is used for endpoint web filtering.The threat prevention feature is the most valuable because it provides protection against malware.Improvements to My Organization:The fact that the three components have been provided under one platform helps to simply perform product management.Also, the virus definition file size is 40% smaller, which reduces the amount of bandwidth required to update all the endpoints.Room for Improvement:I would like the product deployment to be made simpler. The current deployment requires creating tasks to install each component.Use of Solution:I've been using it for six months.Deployment Issues:The main issue with deployment is the need to create four different deployment steps to deploy each component of Endpoint Security 10.1.Stability Issues:The product is quite stable. We haven't had any issues with instability.Scalability Issues:The scalability is great. We've been able to scale it for our needs.Technical Support:Intel Security technical support is very efficient, although the wait times on the customer support line can be quite long.Previous Solutions:I previously used Kaspersky. However, the management console does not match up to the functionality of the ePolicy orchestrator management console provided by Intel Security.Initial Setup:The setup was very straightforward. The EPO server deployed the McAfee agent and then we were able to deploy Endpoint Security.Implementation Team:Implementation was done through the vendor. My advice is to ensure all the requirements that are provided prior to implementation to avoid any delays.ROI:The return on investment has been very encouraging. Ask the vendor to give you as much information as possible on all the suites so you can get a package that suites your environment.Other Advice:Endpoint Protection 10.1 is a very complete endpoint protection solution that gives complete protection for endpoints. It is easy to deploy and can be a very useful endpoint protection solution for small, medium, and large-scale environments.Disclaimer: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Francis Chimuka Its installation and configuration are easy. We chose it because of the security-connected framework for synchronized security. Valuable Features:* Easy installation and configuration* Managed by ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) for simplified managementImprovements to My Organization:It's provided us with a reduction of the attack surfaces used by malware. As an organization, we've decreased our threat visibility.Room for Improvement:We have reports by users of machines being slow when the on-demand scan starts.Recently, some cases of ransomware have been reported on managed systems without VSE detecting them.Use of Solution:I've used it for six years.Deployment Issues:VSE 8.8 is managed by ePO for easy deployment.Stability Issues:Beta versions are released for extensive testing on the various platforms before RTW (Release to World) versions.Scalability Issues:We have had no issues scaling it for our needs.Technical Support:McAfee technical support is available 24/7 to assist with any calls logged.Previous Solutions:I have worked with Symantec before. I chose McAfee because of the security-connected framework for synchronized security, which works well to mitigate risks and to enable a proactive approach to threat responses.Initial Setup:The initial setup of VSE is via the ePO. When checked in to the ePO, VSE can be deployed to the whole environment via the ePO silently without any user intervention.Implementation Team:The initial implementation was done by an in-house team comprised of highly-skilled McAfee experts since we are an Infosec company specializing in various vendor products. An in-house team can set it up, provided they are awarded adequate training.ROI:With the rise of malware and, recently, ransomware cases, using VSE assures you a positive Return-on-Investment. The benefits surely outweigh the risks of a compromised environment.Other Advice:Using McAfee provides you a single, integrated platform that helps you have an end-to-end visibility of the whole environment.Disclaimer: My company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer:We're partners.
